"A superb piece": the BFI (British Film Institute) has a restored 4k version of 1949's Stray Dog by the iconic Akira Kurosawa, and starring the legendary Toshiro Mifune, coming out on January 27th.

Out of the Past is, to me, the quintessential #NoirFilm. Outside debates and discussions about whether it's the best (hard to say), the most ambitious (perhaps not), the most bleak (nope), etc., it's the one that I would show to someone who doesn't know what #FilmNoir is at all, especially in its "classical" form.

Sweetman and I are regulars at the Retro film series at the Carolina theater in Durham, NC. They show everything from Kaiju to Casablanca. Friday night was a noir double feature: Criss Cross and Raw Deal. They’ve installed this greenscreen photo booth, so here we are as a noir couple. Fun, huh? Luckily, we usually leave the drama to the professionals. #oldmovies #noirfilm #datenight
